Well how is climate change going wipe out Colorado? If it is the rising oceans, then we will be the last to go. If it is increased temperature , I can't wait for the increase in temperature after this record cold winter.
Agree. Why did we have a record cold Winter if global warming has been going on for decades? Why hasn't New York been flooded yet? It just isn't adding up.
And if we all will die like Greta seems to think, won't the Earth just re-heal itself?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Weather refers to atmospheric conditions that occur locally over short periods of time—from minutes to hours or days. Familiar examples include rain, snow, clouds, winds, floods, or thunderstorms.
Climate, on the other hand, refers to the long-term (usually at least 30 years) regional or even global average of temperature, humidity, and rainfall patterns over seasons, years, or decades.
Some perspective on specific data.......(the Lake Powell catastrophic condition SHOULD be a super serious
clue......for those who r paying attention to Gaia)
In 1922 when the Colorado river compact was signed, the population of Southern California was, to be generous 3 million, there are now 25+ million, conservative estimate.. Arizona is a more shocking difference, 335,000 as compared to 7.4 million, 2020.
Where do you think the Colorado River water goes?

As a 3rd gen Coloradan,the past conditions were such that snow melt run off WENT INTO THE GROUND FIRST and then filled river tributaries....with an abundance of water, BECAUSE OF EXTENDED DROUGHT AND THE GREEDINESS/EGOCENTRIC LOWER BASIN STATES NOT UPHOLDING THEIR AGREEMENTS....over usage,"I've got mine" mentality put POWELL INTO CRISIS .
Water agreement r being renegotiated and the lower basin states will be held to the NEW WATER AGREEMENTS.....ranchers/farmers r being asked to fallow their land (AND PAID FOR THAT ACT).....THE INDIGENOUS TRIBES R DEMANDING THAT THEIR WATER RIGHTS BE HONORED...(that HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE IN THE PAST)......anything else u want to discuss?
Not only did we have a cooler than normal Winter in Colorado, we are now getting a colder and wetter Spring than normal. Meanwhile, Canada's forests are burning. Guess what? Weather is different every year. Some years you get flooding, other years you get drought, and man has very little influence on it. A couple of volcanos will generate more pollution than a nation like France.
